Description
The true story of the Coen Brothers' film of murder, mayhem, and malfeasance on the frozen landscapes of Minnesota and North Dakota. Go behind the scenes of this classic nineties film from cinematic masters Joel and Ethan Coen and discover some fascinating tidbits to celebrate the films twenty-fifth anniversary. This book explores the behind-the-scenes creative moments that made Fargo a critical and cultural success, including casting struggles, the battles over dialect, production challenges (a lack of snow), and insights from the screenplay and deleted scenes.
